What is the
Point
type? I’m surprised that you can’t just lexicographically sort instead ofplot.OrderBy(p => (p.Row * 10000) + p.Col)
.It’s a simple record type I use for (x,y) coordinate problems:
record struct Point(int X, int Y);
It’s defined in a separate project containing things I use in multiple problems.
Maybe I could have done it that way, but this was the first thing I thought of, and it worked :)
